My family and I had a great experience at the Matador, especially enjoying its location right at the start of the boardwalk. The rooms were clean and comfortable, perfect for our family needs, but the Wi-Fi was spotty, which was a bit frustrating. The kids loved the pool, and we appreciated the rooftop patio for evening relaxation. Overall, it offered excellent value for a beach trip, despite a couple of minor drawbacks.

The Matador offers a clean and comfortable stay close to the beach, with a friendly staff that enhances the experience. However, the dining options are lacking and the pool can become overcrowded, especially during peak times. Additionally, while the convenience of amenities is a plus, some small charges and limited parking can be a drawback. Overall, it's a decent choice for a family-friendly vacation.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, and the amenities like the pool and rooftop deck were enjoyable. However, I encountered significant cleanliness issues in my room, which left me feeling disappointed. While the price was reasonable, the lack of attention to cleanliness is concerning.

Our stay at the Matador had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, just a few steps to the beach and the boardwalk. The cleanliness of the property was impressive, and it felt well-maintained overall. However, the room size was much smaller than expected, and we faced some noise issues from neighboring guests. The amenities were decent, but the dining options could have used improvement, particularly breakfast.
